GR Yaris Who's still waiting

Picked mine up a few days ago, KB5, ordered 9th July 2021. Completely in love with it already, worth the enormous wait. All the slight worries I had about whether I'd be happy with it as my only car (I've swapped from a very comfortable but not very exciting BMW X3 30d) melted away within a few miles...I'm not even really missing heated seats! I also got the 0% finance honoured. Seems like a massive bargain now I'm getting more of a feel for how brilliantly engineered it is.

Well done on the finance! Massive result. I'd give it more time before you decide you're not going to miss your creature comforts in your only car though!

You may well be right! I'm trying to see it as an opportunity to toughen myself up. Though I will admit I did Google the price of heated gilets/jackets the other day...

I’ve done pretty much the same. BMW Warranty was up on my 520d xdrive touring. Wife told me to get a new family car, I came home with an order for a GR Yaris, she wasn’t impressed but I’m excited.
 
Mines 24696. Ordered April21 but the dealership didn't order till mid July
That's crazy. If they'd placed the order in April you'd have been driving your car for 18 months now.

Tell me about it, the salesperson forgot to order it hence no longer works there, at least I have it now and its having its ppf done so should have it back this week

Haha, this sounds like my story. It was time to change either the X3 F25 which was the family car, either my wife's e-Up which is at the end of the warranty. You can imagine her face when i showed her how the new "family" car looks like on youtube. Had the silent treatment for 2 days after that.... :D

After a very long wait, today I was called by the dealer to tell me that my car has finally arrived at the dealership.
Chassis 24790 is a circuit pack in pearl white.
Due to my holiday travel plans, I won’t be able to take delivery before mid January. But I’m already looking forward to a good start to the new year!
